"Actor: Gary Myers"

• Lenny | DVD | (23/06/2003) from £8.98   |  Saving you £7.00 (116.86%)   |  RRP £12.99

  From his first gig as a nervous Catskills comedian it's obvious that Lenny Bruce (Dustin Hoffman) is a force to be reckoned with. Armed with a shocking routine and a stripper as his muse (Valerie Perrine) Lenny turns comedy and America on its ear with his abrasive and often offensive humour. But life in the smoke-filled bars of the comedy curcuit begins to take its toll. The drugs and arrests for his subject matter wear heavily on this maverick crusader but don't stop him from goi

• Gary Glitter - Remember Me This Way | DVD | (24/10/2016) from £8.75   |  Saving you £4.24 (48.46%)   |  RRP £12.99

  Remember Me This Way is an hour long documentary on 70 s British Glam Rock star - Gary Glitter. Filmed at the height of his fame, the film builds to its finale of Glitter s concert at the Rainbow Theatre. A fascinating time capsule from the mid 1970s Gary Glitter does his publicity interviews, parties, rehearsals and recording sessions as his manager, Laurence Myers, deal makes for him on the phone. Myers also used to manage David Bowie in the early 1970s and the parallels between Glitter s bombastic bravado on-stage and posh, speaking voice in-private are amusing. Packed with extras from the mid 1970s this is a unique release of a forgotten era and whatever people think about Gary Glitter the man; there s no denying after watching this, that Glitter was one of the finest showmen of his time and a unique live act who a knew how to entertain.

• UFO - Series 1 | DVD | (18/03/2002) from £28.99   |  Saving you £21.00 (72.44%)   |  RRP £49.99

  UFO was Gerry Anderson's first live-action TV series after a decade of producing such children's animated classics as Stingray (1963) and Thunderbirds (1964). The premise of UFO, which ran for a single season of 26 episodes, was like a more serious version of Anderson's Captain Scarlet (1967)--in the near future of 1980 a hi-tech secret organisation, SHADO, waged covert war against mysterious alien attackers. Ed Bishop played the American head of SHADO--he had had previously featured in Captain Scarlet and Anderson's Doppelganger (1969)--though in all other respects this was a thoroughly British production. As with all Anderson series UFO evidenced remarkable technological inventiveness and groundbreaking production values, coupled with startling lapses in fundamental logic too numerous to list. Much more adult in story and content than earlier Anderson productions, and surprisingly dark with its pragmatic view of human nature and downbeat endings, the show now seems like a forerunner of The X Files and the equally short-lived Dark Skies (1996). Barry Gray's memorable theme and atmospheric music greatly enhanced the overall impact. Stylishly made, though terribly sexist by current standards and featuring eye-catching costumes more fitted for a camp fancy dress party than the front line of a futuristic war, this cult classic eventually evolved into Space 1999 (1975). On the DVD: this four-disc deluxe box features the first 13 episodes. The box set has five free postcards and a booklet offering interesting background on the programme. The first disc includes an alternate, more violent opening scene, while later discs feature text transcriptions and photographs from scenes cut due to TV running time restrictions. All discs provide extensive galleries of publicity and behind the scenes photos, as well as character profiles or a history of SHADO. The opening episode, "Identified", features a commentary by Gerry Anderson, in which he talks in general about the production of the series and Ed Bishop does the same for the episode "Sub Smash". From the animated menus onwards these DVDs have been beautifully designed and produced. The mono sound is exceptionally strong and the restored and remastered picture is almost unbelievably good for a 1970 TV show. With barely a flaw anywhere the episodes look so clear, colourful and detailed that they could have been filmed last week. --Gary S Dalkin
